Michael Kors – Fall 2009

Share |

As the New York Fashion Week is closer to its end we see more surprising collections as ever.

Michael Kors whose collections are usually very classy and elegant this time has diverted to more extreme styles and colors. Still there are many strict suits that fit for office wear but there are also those who were created to seem strict but actually have exposed shoulders and long slits.

There is a stand out for cocktail dresses in this line as well – some of them are made of leather and accessorized with rock-style chains instead of necklaces. It’s a very specific design but what I like about it is that it looks pretty unusual.

There are a few asymmetrical one-shoulder style gowns which were the trend for spring-summer of the year. That means this trend will find itself again in fall and winter garments.

The collection would seem too severe if there were no bright hues that attracted attention of all those who were fortunate to be at the presentation.

Bright pink, lettuce green and orange tones diversify the mostly black-and-grey color palette. Even some furs used in coats were vividly colored.

To note other peculiarities of Michael Kors’s style I have to mention narrow trousers, wide use of belts, chainy necklaces and hats that remind me of Russian warm hats called ‘ushanka’.

To conclude, I want to say that if all the designers kept their styles always in one wave we won’t be so much interested in their creations. That is why I really like this line by Michael Kors as it is new for him and us as well.
